Mark Owen suffering from "pre-tour panic"

Take That's Mark Owen has revealed that he is starting to get a case of the pre-tour jitters.

The singers are due to embark upon their record-breaking 'Progress' dates on Friday, May 27 at Sunderland's Stadium of Light and the sheer magnitude of the tour is beginning to unnerve the lads. Owen told The Sun about his "pre-tour panic":

"A few weeks ago I had a pre-tour panic, a bit of a meltdown, which I went through for a couple of days."

"Not much sleep, but I came through the other end and I've been all right since. But we're confident with it now and I think the show's going to be brilliant."

A new wave of tickets were released to the public at the end of last week and the tour will see them perform to millions of fans over a whopping 27 nights. Watch the band's recent performance of 'Love Love' here:
